🏨 GSSoC'26 Project Proposal: Hotel Management System (Python)

📋 Description

I would like to contribute a comprehensive Hotel Management System built in Python to the starter_code directory. This project is designed to help beginners understand real-world application logic, data structures, and input validation.

🛠 Tech Stack

• Language: Python 3.x
• Concepts: Nested Dictionaries, Functional Programming, CLI Design, Data Validation.

Proposed solution

✨ Key Features Implemented

• Automated Inventory: Generates 40 rooms across 4 categories (Deluxe, Super Deluxe, Suite, Presidential) using dynamic indexing.
• Booking Engine: Handles room allocation, guest details, and stay duration limits (max 30 days).
• Billing Logic: Automatically calculates total costs based on room tier and number of days.
• Robust Validation: Includes 10-digit phone number verification and error handling for non-numerical inputs.
• Search & Filter: Allows users to search for rooms by type and view specific guest records.

Hi @komalharshita! I have implemented the Hotel Management System as proposed in this issue. You can track the progress and review the code in the Pull Request here: #263

Key Highlights of the PR:

• Educational Focus: Follows the repository's structured learning format (Goals + Roadmap).
• Core Logic: Includes room inventory management (40 rooms), booking validation, and category-based filtering.
• Business Rules: Implemented checks for 10-digit phone numbers and a 30-day maximum stay limit.
• Local Testing: Verified all edge cases in a Windows environment; code is clean and PEP8 compliant.

I'm happy to make any adjustments based on your feedback. Thanks for the opportunity to contribute!
